GrandiaX(Xtreme) was the biggest let down compared to 2 & 3, hope to see a game with a good combat system & a good Story along with it...

(Updated played list)

Champions of Norrath(added on 6/09)

Kingdon Hearts1-2(added on 6/11)

You should try to get Rogue Galaxy.I haven't played it,but I heard it's really good.

Looks like you've played the best ones, lol.The only one I can think of now to recomend is Tales of Legendia. But you should be aware that the battle system is a pretty big step back from Tales of the Abyss. And it uses random battles. The story is great though, and the characters are hillarious.A lot of people hate it, but it really just depends on what your looking for.

In that case I don't blame you, if it's a detailed anime anyway. But if it's short like most Tales anime's, I doubt it has the same humour as in the games. But still, due to the not so fun gameplay, it probably won't be worth getting if you already know the story.

I haven't played any of those so I can't vote. But some really good ones are FF series, DQVIII, and Persona 4

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King!:)

Dragon Warrior and Dragon Quest are the same thing, it was called Quest in Japan and then renamed to Warrior when it was released in North America. They only changed it back to Quest in America a few years ago. The first two games in the series are pretty primitive and probably aren't for anyone other than hardcore fans of the series/genre, but I'd seriously recommend VIII, it's nothing like those early games.

I would pick Persona 3 from the list for sure, make sure to get FES. These are also great but not on your poll or list. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 Suikoden III & VEikichi-Onizuka

Excellent suggestions.

I'd add Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts Covenant. There is a third Shadow Hearts game, but it's not as good and not really connected to the other two.

Everyone who likes RPGs and owns a PS2 should have:

Tales of the Abyss

Tales of Legendia

Dark Cloud

Dark Cloud 2

Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts 2

InuYasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask

Tales of Legendia has the best cast of characters of any Tales game. I agree, the battle system wasn't as great as Tales of the Abyss' battle system, but I still loved Tales of Legendia regardless. The unique battle system was fun enough, and the soundtrack for that game was incredible, the best video game soundtrack of all time.

Dragon Quest VIII is highly recommended. I also neglected to mention Kingdom Hearts I, II, and Persona 3 as these are excellent as well.

Persona 4

Rogue Galaxy by a mile. Don't get MS Saga unless you're a big Gundam fan. It's just fair IMO. Dot Hack GU...haven't played it yet, but I own the trilogy. Will get around to it sometime.

Judging by your list it sounds like you're off to a good start.

If you want more suggetsions go here:

Suikoden III
Persona 3 & 4
Xenosaga Episode I
Final Fantasy XII

Hm... that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

i enjoyed grandia 2.

Its isn't on the poll, but Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2 is one of the most terrific RPGs of all time.

From the poll,clearly P3 and Rogue Galaxy,though P4 is a very good choice as well,in most ways better than P3 in my opinion.Arach666

Now Kingdom Hearts 1-2 I've played & beat very nice games thats for .... (InuYasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask)I have played when I was at a friends house
just a bit he didn't like it much & I liked it... my friend was going to sell it to me but sold it to someone else..... lol wish I used my food money then I brought it from him then didn't play it much (about 30 mins lol)

Now I did updated my played list on the first page with Kingdom Hearts 1-2 but not InuYasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask since I didn't play it much at all

You should try both though,and if you plan to play both of them,it´s probably better to start with P3 simply because some gameplay mechanics are improved,I went P4 first and later P3 and I know that if I had played P3 first,I would´ve apreciated it a lot more than I do. ;)

Xenosaga.

Most people gave up after Episode I. Others gave up after Episode II (which is more understandable since it took a bit of a quality hit). Sadly almost no one played Episode III, which was by far the best. If you play the series back to back, it's incredibly rewarding storywise. Best storyline on PS2, and overall second only to Xenogears.

Man I couldn't play Xenosaga. The main character sounded like she was voiced by a woman going through menopause.

Menopause makes you sound more manly because of the hormone embalance.

The point is they cast a middle age woman for a younger character. Actually, I thought most of the voices sucked, which is why it was hard for me to get into.
